In the past, a movie usually only had 4 or 5 productions, distributors, covering production, theaters, distribution, and promotion.

In recent years, the list of producers of major directors has become longer and longer.

At the beginning of the year, there were 21 producers of "Journey to the West: The Three Fighting the Bone Spirit" alone...

It’s not that Yuehua wants to divide his own income, but a video. Apart from the equity he retains, the remaining equity is distributed to some companies, individuals, funds, etc., and after these dispersed equity are transferred to a bunch of outsiders...

There are also some individuals with good relationships with the film company or director who may get a small part of the equity before the filming starts, and then sell it to the next company, making the difference between the market themselves, and not having to pay the actual money.

With the increase in producers, the main agent's project share did not decrease much, but the company that entered the market later received a relatively small share.

For example, Yuehua Animation, it obtained 10% investment rights in "Journey to the West: Fighting the Bone Demon", and then Hengdian Film and Television is willing to buy it at a premium, and the price given is very high!

"Three Fights of the White Bone Spirit" has a total investment of 400 million, and Yuehua Animation can invest 40 million. They sold this share to Hengdian Film and Television for 100 million...

Of course, "Three Fights of the White Bone Spirit" has a box office of 1.8 billion yuan in mainland China and an overseas box office of 180 million US dollars. When sharing the accounts, Hengdian Film and Television also made some profits. The most important thing is that the revenue of "Three Fights of the White Bone Spirit" can be written into Hengdian's financial report...

In the past, several producers could build a movie project plate and wanted to leave more benefits to themselves, not to share them with others. However, in the market environment, everyone wanted to transfer risks in advance and introduce more and more investors.

Now, no matter how good the film is, it is difficult to accurately predict the final box office.

Therefore, the producer is willing to use the release of very small shares to attract multiple investors and concentrate more resources together.

In this regard, the "producer" who later joined explained to the public: Some projects cost 150 million yuan to be sold for two years, but the main prosecutor is planning to sell them to you for 200 million yuan because of poor capital turnover. Is this a premium? The 150 million yuan fund plus two years of capital usage fee will definitely be more than 200 million yuan. If the quality of the film is evaluated, the buyer will be deemed to be a loss!

"The Wandering Earth" is not an exaggeration. After all, Yuehua is still very confident that this project can make money, and the investment you divide is only 50%...

The most exaggerated thing is the "The Founding of the Army" being produced by China Film, with 44 producers!

Many investors only have 0.5% share.

These people don’t care whether the investment in this film can make money. They just want to be 0.5%. As long as they can participate, the opening credits have the name of their company, they will be satisfied...

...

There is almost a week before the release of "The Wandering Earth", Yuehua has formulated a series of publicity activities.

For a large series with a total volume of up to $500 million, it is conceivable how important it is to fire the first shot!

Although the young actors who participated in the show were already the only ones, young and handsome guys, all of them gathered together under the call of publicity and followed Guo Fan on six variety shows in a row and went to fourteen cities...

At the same time, Yuehua told film and television companies across the country what the promotion of top blockbusters is!

Cinemas, streets, KFC, McDonald's and many other stores are covered with movie posters, movie trailers are being played in the elevator, movie channels, and five major satellite TV stations are all broadcasting movie trailers...

The even more shocking "The Wandering Earth" bought out the first thirty seconds of "News Broadcast" for seven consecutive days, and played the movie trailer.

This trailer actually introduces the Wandering Earth:

The sun, located in the Milky Way Orion's spiral arm, accounts for 99.68% of the total mass of the solar system. Now, the solar core is aging rapidly and expanding continuously, and the earth will be swallowed up. In order to survive, humans have formulated an unprecedented magnificent plan to drive the entire earth to escape to a new home 4.2 light years away.

The plan is divided into five stages:

In the first stage, humans devoted all their money to build 10,000 "planetary engines" that drove the earth forward and 10,000 dungeons that protected humans to live.

In the second stage, the "steering engine" around the equator was opened one after another, driving the earth to stop rotating. The earth stopped, causing a tsunami to sweep the world, and the global population dropped sharply by nearly half.

In the third stage, the Earth will use the Sun and Jupiter to complete the final accelerated sprint and officially embark on a wandering journey.

In the fourth stage, after the earth leaves the solar system, the full power of the "planetary engine" will be turned on, which will accelerate to five-thousandth of the speed of light in five hundred years and glide for 1,300 years. Then, the direction of the engine will be adjusted and the speed will be slowed down for another seven hundred years.

Stage 5: The Earth moors into the target star system, arrives at its new home, and becomes a new planet in the target star system.

This plan will last for a hundred generations. Although we don’t know what kind of home the new sun will bring 4.2 light years away, from today on, human courage and perseverance will be engraved under the starry sky forever. This long coexistence of despair and hope lasts for 2,500 years is known as the “Wandering Earth” plan!

——Of course, this is supported by the Film Bureau and CCTV. Otherwise, no matter how much money you give, there is no chance!

Yuehua also mobilized all the people, including Tang Ningyu, Zhang Junsheng, Song Ge, and Ye Ning, and various cinema managers...

Nothing else, I just hope to get a few more golden games to schedule!

With six days left before the release, "The Wandering Earth" officially started pre-sales, and the ticketing service gave data: two hours, the pre-sales exceeded 100 million!

This result broke the record set by Monster Hunt last year!

However, the investment in "Monster Hunt" is only 300 million, and this investment in "The Wandering Earth" is not enough to carry shoes...

...

"…You can't take it lightly, this is a battle that cannot be lost!"

Tang Ningyu smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw you so motivated!"

"Of course, "The Wandering Earth" is related to more than 100 billion investments..."

Liu Sisi, who was sitting next to him, was very curious: "More than one thousand billion? How did you calculate it?"

"If "The Wandering Earth" is a big hit, we can build new projects in the theme park, science fiction corners, and negotiations with a bunch of derivative companies can also go smoothly..."

"The derivatives market for science fiction movies is very large. We have already negotiated with more than 80 derivatives merchants. Once the movie is released..."

Zhang Junsheng continued with a wry smile: "Think about it, if the movie fails, these people will probably jump off the building..."

"Not it?"

"Haha, "Warcraft" also signed more than 30 derivative developers. After the movie was released, more than a dozen went bankrupt, and the boss ran away..."

"We won't let them run away, but once the movie fails, it's probably not easy for the theme park to introduce related derivatives..."

Liu Sisi swallowed: "...I'll just say whatever I want, you guys talk..."

"I heard that Wanda released two movies in July..."

"What movie?"

“The Bounty Hunter and the Jade Trails…”

"Is "Jade" directed by Guo Jingming?"

"right!"

Zhang Junsheng smiled: "Haha, are Zheng Zihao scared of being scolded?"

Tang Ningyu also smiled: "What do you think?"

"Tiny Times" four movies, Qiyan Entertainment made a lot of money, and of course they were also called a sieve.

Many people say that "Tiny Times" has more harm to society than "Young and Dangerous" in the past...

This is very strange. I admit that "Tiny Times" is indeed a failed movie, but there are countless people who cannot recognize the status quo to watch it.

But, because the movie is not good, does someone want to watch it?

Perhaps it is because Guo Jingming himself and his fans are too arrogant and directly challenged the bottom line!

Whether Guo Jingming's works are plagiarized has long been concluded!

Then, his fans ran to Zhuang Yu's blog to insult him, and flooded the screen with "Why would he copy you, you would be famous?" This is roughly the remark...

Twilight is known as the American version of Tiny Times, but it has not become mainstream…

The quality of the Hollywood film industry is still there, and there is no large-scale decline;

Also, the values ​​of the entire society have unified standards for judging!

Why do we hate Guo Jingming?

Because an idol can rebel, anti-authority, challenge existing music forms, and dress up in strange costumes, but the basic values ​​of definition of plagiarism, protection of intellectual property rights, and whether private life is corrupt will never challenge the bottom line!

It is dangerous to engage in topical figures that go against basic values.

Many Chinese celebrities are just challenging the bottom line and never admit their mistakes, whether it is cheating, plagiarism, or copying...
